Paperless and inkless printing
by David Allen on Friday, February 5th, 2010
Printer ink can work out very expensive, paper is not so expensive but is a waste of a valuable resource, so maybe this is where the PrePeat printer system comes in!
This new system does not use paper or ink, the user just feeds a clear sheet of heat sensitive plastic, it is the heat generated through the printer leaves an image on the plastic. When you finished with the sheet feed it though again at a different temperature and it erases the text.
There are some issues with this system, the PrePeat costs $5,500 and each plastic sheet has a price of $3.30.
